"It's almost time, let's go to the exit." Lin Yan and Yun Zhou worked together to collect a total of 8 energy stone bags. They each got four, which was more than enough for the two of them to get out.
Lin Yan looked at the long street and the Fengxue Tower that almost towered into the sky in the distance, and frowned: "Xiao Zhou, what is the survival rate of the Blizzard City dungeon?"
"A copy?" Yun Zhou looked at Lin Yan speechlessly, "Do you think this sub-space is a copy for playing games?"
“Don’t they look alike?” Anyway, Lin Xi felt that it was quite similar, and it was a real replica with an excellent experience. The only sequelae was that there was no rebirth point, so if you died, you really died.
"I don't know the survival rate." Yun Zhou shook his head.
"Don't the officials have statistics?" Lin Xi frowned. Isn't Blizzard City a very common subspace? Then the officials should have counted the survival rate.
"Generally speaking, in a B-level subspace, psychics below B-level can hardly survive. Take Blizzard City for example. Without B-level strength or powerful items, psychics will die directly in the house where they are born." Yun Zhou explained, "If the two of us didn't have the items, we would have died long ago."
"Are there many people with special abilities like you and me who possess life-saving gadgets?" Lin Wei asked.
"Probably not many." Yun Zhou had many items because he was a wood-type psychic with excellent talent. Also, because he was young, his family was afraid that he would be sucked into the subspace and have an accident, so they gave him some psychic items for self-defense. Most psychics could only rely on their own psychic abilities.
"That is to say, all the psychics who can break out of the house have abilities at level B or above," said Lin Xi.
"Of course. You are a member of the official organization after all. How come you don't have any common sense?" Yun Zhou said contemptuously.
Lin Xi looked at the young man's proud look and wanted to ask, I only said that Wu Wang and I were colleagues, and I didn't say that I was from the official organization. If you are not Wu Wang's brother, how do you know I am an official member
But now is not the time to talk about this.
"We have collected energy stones from eight mansions, which are barely enough for three people to leave the subspace. Assuming that only half or less of the spirits in these eight mansions have died, then we have to kill at least all the spirits in an entire mansion and collect their energy stones before we can leave the subspace. To do this, we must have overwhelming strength." Lin Xi analyzed slowly.
"Of course. Why are you saying that?" the child asked puzzled.
"Tell me, how many of the psychics who have emerged from the houses in this city have collected enough energy stones? And how will those who have not collected enough energy stones continue to collect the remaining energy stones?" Lin Wei asked.
Yun Zhou frowned and thought about it. After a moment, he seemed to have figured something out. His face turned pale and he said, "Robbed us?!"
"Can you please stop being such a pessimist!" Lin Xi was speechless. Although this possibility was very high, what if there was a lucky chance
"What should I do then?" No matter how mature Yun Zhou pretended to be, he was just a nine-year-old child. After interacting with Lin Yan for a period of time, he became dependent on her unknowingly.
"Let's go our separate ways." Lin Xi thought for a moment and gave a suggestion.
"You're going to abandon me?" The child's face was filled with anger of betrayal, and the tsundere kitten instantly turned into a hedgehog.
"..." Lin Yan didn't mean to abandon the child. She just felt that with her luck value of -99, the probability of being robbed was too high. If the child left her, with better luck, she might be able to avoid being robbed and reach Fengxue Tower. Moreover, the child was a C-level psychic and had weapons for self-defense, so he could fight even if he encountered danger. On the contrary, she was just a burden.
"Okay, let's separate. We're just cooperating temporarily anyway." The child's face flushed and he clenched his fists tightly. After he finished speaking, he ran away along the main street in a huff.
Lin Xi was caught off guard by the child's intense reaction. She opened her mouth to explain, but in the end said nothing.
It’s better to run away.
Lin Yan looked at the spacious main street, turned and entered the alley behind her: "Let's take the small road."
Others walked along the main street because they were afraid of getting lost in a strange city. After all, time was limited and the supernaturals had to get to Fengxue Tower before dark. But Lin Xi was different. She had a Sadako brand navigation system that guided her to exits in real time, so she would never get lost.
Perhaps because the formation of Blizzard City was about to collapse, the snow was getting heavier and heavier. Lin Yan wore a hood and hurried through the alleys. Every time she walked a distance, she took out her phone to check the time.
"There's still an hour left, so we should be able to make it." Lin Xi looked up at Fengxue Tower in the distance, secretly estimating the distance.
After putting away her phone and shaking off the snowflakes on her body, Lin Xi was about to move forward when she suddenly heard a crunching sound of stepping on snow from the front.
Anyone?!
Lin Yan was startled, and subconsciously wanted to walk back to the alleyway to avoid the person. But when she turned around, a man in a brocade robe walked out of the alleyway behind her.
The man looked to be in his thirties or forties, ugly and wretched, and with that gorgeous cloak, he looked like a rat spirit in fancy clothes.
"Oh, I found a cute Little Red Riding Hood." The man smiled at Lin Xi, revealing the yellow and black teeth that are typical of an old smoker.
Lin Ying ignored him and took a few steps back cautiously. Before she could figure out how to respond, two middle-aged men in cotton jackets walked out of the alley behind her.
Surrounded
As expected, we met again. Why did this feeling of no surprise come about
Lin Xi decided that she would never take shortcuts again, and she would never bother thinking of ways to avoid risks. Anyway, no matter how she avoided it, what was coming would still come, so she might as well just lie down.
Right, system.
"I am just a divination system. I cannot give the host any advice other than divination." said the system.
Lin rolled her eyes, knowing that the system would not help. Lin observed silently for a moment, then turned to face the two psychics in gray cotton jackets. Lin did not face the lesser party, firstly because the brocade-robed rats were too ugly, and it would hurt the eyes if she looked at them too much, and secondly because, compared to the brocade-robed rats, the two psychics in gray brocade robes had more bloodstains on their bodies and looked more embarrassed.
Everyone has fought their way out of the spawn point alone, so one can roughly judge a person's ability based on their injuries. The more miserable a person is, the weaker they are.
Chen Chu is S-level, so the Black Spider should also be S-level. Since the Master's ruler can control the Black Spider for a moment, it should also be able to control a B-level psychic.
Lin Xi was thinking secretly. She did not hold out hope that the ruler could completely control the B-level psychic. Firstly, she herself was not sure whether the ruler had this ability, and secondly, there were three enemies here in total, and a single control skill would not have much effect.
"What do you want to do?" Lin Yan asked, while quietly pointing the ruler at the superpower standing at the entrance of the alley. "It's so obvious that you can't see it?" The man grinned.
[Asshole, you answered the question irrelevantly, you will be punished with ten slaps of the ruler! ]
The skill was successfully activated. Lin Xi was determined in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.
"Hand over the energy stone." The brocade-robed rat said from behind, "and the supernatural item you have."
Lin Yan was startled. How did this person know that she had the prop? Did he see her and Yun Zhou asking for the energy stone together? That shouldn't be the case. She and Yun Zhou were very cautious when asking for the energy stone. They only came to ask for it after making sure that there was no one around.
"I don't have any props on me." Lin Xi said.
"You must be kidding. The energy fluctuations on your body are so weak, and you acted alone. If you didn't have any supernatural props, how did you get out of the house?" One of the square-faced supernatural users analyzed, "Look at your clothes, they are so clean, as if you were in a cosplay, there is no trace of battle at all."
So that's how she analyzed it. Yes, everyone is not stupid. She can judge that Jinpao Mouse has the strongest ability among the three people by his clothes. Naturally, others can also judge whether she has fought by her clothes. But... her props can only be used by herself. If someone else uses them, they can't be used. So even if she wants to spend money to avoid disaster and give the props to these people, she can't give them away.
"I'll give you the energy stones and props, can you please not kill me?" Lin Xi pretended to be scared.
"Don't worry, we won't kill you. You can't get out anyway, and you will die in there." The brocade-robed mouse's eyes fell on the ruler in Lin Yan's hand, "That ruler is your prop, right?"
Lin Xi hid the ruler behind her in panic, causing the three men to burst into laughter.
"Little Red Riding Hood, do you think you can still hide at this time?" said the brocade-robed mouse with disdain.
Lin Yan pursed her lips, made a reluctant expression, turned to the mutant who was already under his control, and said in a trembling voice: "I... I will give you everything, but... you have to let me leave through the alley next to it."
The gray cotton-padded jacket mutant looked at the brocade-clothed mouse behind Lin Xi, and the brocade-clothed mouse nodded.
"Okay." The man nodded in agreement.
"Then... ask him to move away." Lin Xi pointed at the square-faced mutant again.
The square-faced mutant immediately became impatient: "What qualifications do you have to bargain, you little girl? Hurry and bring the things over."
"If you don't agree, I will destroy the props now." Lin Yan held the ruler in both hands, looking like she would break it if you dare to touch her.
"Don't move. Li San, step back." The brocade-clothed mouse ordered the square-faced mutant to leave.
The square-faced mutant reluctantly stepped back and stood on the other side of the alley.
Lin Yan then let go of the ruler, and slowly walked towards the grey-padded jacket superpower, while moving closer to the exit of the alley. The three people didn't take Lin Yan's actions seriously. In their eyes, the energy stone and superpower props were the key, and they didn't care whether the person lived or died.
Seeing that Lin Yan had come close, the grey-padded jacket supernatural being raised his right hand and stretched it out to Lin Yan: "Give me the thing."
"Okay." Lin Yan slowly handed the ruler to the palm of the gray cotton jacket supernatural. Just when the gray cotton jacket supernatural was about to close his hands to grasp the ruler, Lin Yan whispered, "Stretch out your hand."
The gray-robed mutant's hand, which had originally been holding the ruler, stretched out again uncontrollably.
The gray-robed psychic had been through many battles and immediately realized something was wrong. He knew that he was most likely being controlled by the tool, so he activated his supernatural powers to break free from the restraints. However, when he was only halfway through using his supernatural powers, Lin Xi hit him with a ruler.
With a "pop" sound, the severe pain that went straight to the soul instantly destroyed half of the supernatural powers that were activated in the body of the gray cotton-padded jacket mutant.
"Don't chase me!!!" Lin Yan ran away after smoking, shouting as she ran.
"Chase!" The square-faced Psychic turned around and chased, but because the entrance to the alley was narrow, he bumped into the Psychic in the gray cotton-padded jacket in a hurry, and directly blocked the entrance to the alley.
"What are you two idiots doing?" The brocade-robed mouse was also blocked and started cursing angrily.
"I'm being controlled." The grey-padded jacket mutant had a painful expression on his face. "As soon as I move, my body feels extremely painful. There's an old man with a white beard in my head, beating me with a ruler and scolding me for not repenting."
"What a mess?" the brocade mouse cursed.
"I don't know either."
"Get lost!" The brocade mouse pulled his subordinate away and chased her out along the alley. That was a supernatural item, and he couldn't let her get away.
With her physical strength, it was impossible for her to outrun a B-class psychic. The snow was so thick that her footprints would reveal her whereabouts, so it was unrealistic to rely on the complicated path in the alley to get rid of the opponent. In this case, why not just run to the main street? What if she was lucky enough to run into Wu Wang or Chen Chu
Even if they didn't encounter it, if the noise was louder, maybe they would be able to find it.
Lin Xi ran very fast, but she was caught up by the brocade-robed rat after only running two alleys.
"Stop, you damn girl!"
Lin Xi turned around and pointed at him with the ruler.
The brocade mouse knew that it was a supernatural power item, and had been on guard. Seeing this, he thought Lin Yan was going to attack, so he shrank his body, and claws grew out of his hands and feet. Then he jumped up, and his claws pierced into the wall, and his whole body hung on the wall, avoiding the ruler's attack. And nothing happened where he had just stood.
Lin Yan was stunned, turned the ruler and pointed at the person hanging on the wall: "Are you a mouse?"
No wonder they look so alike.
The brocade mouse was furious. He was a genetically modified mouse. As his ability level increased, he looked more and more like a mouse. He hated being called a mouse. The brocade mouse did not change back to human form. He kept his half-beast posture and started to crawl along the wall. There was no snow on the wall. The brocade mouse was very agile and was about to catch up with Lin Yan.
"Put your hand out!" Lin Yan shouted without turning her head.
The brocade mouse stretched out his hand uncontrollably, then lost his balance and fell heavily into the snow.
"asshole!"
[Skill interrupted.]
Can only control for one second
Lin Xi was terrified, but she took the opportunity to run another two or three meters. Fortunately, she did not go too deep into the alleys in the city and always stayed near the main street. After running through two more alleys, Lin Xi entered the main street.
Behind her was the angry and embarrassed Rat in Brocade Clothes and the square-faced Psychic who was supporting his teammates. As for the Psychic in the gray cotton jacket who was hit by Lin Yan with a ruler, he was sweating profusely from the pain and trembling every two steps, as if he had the hiccups. There was always a white-bearded old man in his mind, who kept hitting him with a ruler.
"No repentance, no repentance, no repentance."
The Gray Cotton Jacket Superpower almost vomited blood. Please tell me, what do you want me to change? I will change it. Can't I change it now
Lin Xi rushed out of the alley and immediately caught a glimpse of someone on her left. She turned her head and looked over, and exchanged a blank stare with a baby-faced person whom she had only been separated from for less than twenty minutes.
"I go!"
"You..." Yun Zhou was about to speak, but Lin Yan turned around and ran away like she saw a ghost, and the direction she ran was completely opposite to the direction of Fengxue Tower.
Yun Zhou was wondering when a psychic who looked like a mouse flashed out from the alley. The psychic looked around, saw Lin Xi and chased after her.
Lin Yan was robbed? I don't care, she was the one who wanted to separate from me first.
"Li San, I can't go on. You and the boss go after her. Capture her alive and lift my curse." The grey cotton-padded jacket mutant couldn't bear the pain any more.
"Okay." As the words fell, another psychic rushed out from the alley and ran in the direction Lin Xi left.
Finally, a trembling supernatural being in a gray cotton jacket came out holding onto the wall. He was sweating profusely, and his face was dejected. He roared to the sky, "Tell me, what exactly do you want me to change?"
After he finished yelling, the grey-padded jacket superpower finally saw Yun Zhou, and a fierce look appeared on his face: "Kid, get out!"
"Black flame?!" Yun Zhou saw a black flame symbol inside the torn clothes on the chest of the gray cotton jacket.
"You know it but you still don't get out of here, are you looking for death?"
The one who answered him was the boy Yunzhou who raised his hand and the gun.
The gray-padded jacket supernatural being's face twitched, he raised his hands, and begged for mercy humbly: "Little friend, uncle was wrong, uncle shouldn't..."
"boom!"
Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Yun Zhou pulled the trigger and shot directly through the other party's eyebrows.
"My dad said that anyone from the Black Flame should be killed." Although he spoke fiercely and killed people, the child's face was three times paler than the snow on the ground.
The child was panting violently, trying hard to calm himself down.
"Help! I have an energy stone." Lin Xi's cry came from a distance.
The child raised his head with a complicated expression and couldn't help scolding: "Stupid woman, who will come to save you if you shout for help in a place like this? It will only attract more snatchers."
But just now, she discovered that she was here, so she deliberately ran to the other side.
The kid gritted his teeth and finally chased after him with a gun.
In the distance, Lin Yan was running and shouting for help. She knew that shouting like this would definitely attract more people with special abilities, but more people would muddy the waters, and she could fish in muddy waters.
As she shouted, especially the sentence "I have energy stones", she almost instantly attracted all the psychics who had not yet collected all the energy stones. They came out of the houses, streets, and alleys and surrounded her.
Seeing that most people had arrived, Lin Xi suddenly pulled out a bag of energy stones from her waist and threw it towards the brocade-clothed rat closest to her.
"There are sixty energy stones in it."
As soon as these words came out, five superpowers rushed towards Jinyi Mouse. No matter how powerful Jinyi Mouse was, he couldn't beat five people alone. Soon, the bag of energy stones was obtained by one of the superpowers, and Jinyi Mouse was beaten black and blue in the melee, spitting blood, and even the superpower stones on his body were looted by other superpowers.
A trace of resentment flashed in the eyes of the brocade mouse. He suddenly pointed at Lin Yan and shouted, "That woman got a supernatural power item, which is the ruler in her hand."
All of the superpowers on the main street looked at the ruler in Lin Yan's hand. Even some superpowers who had collected energy stones and were about to leave looked over when they heard the words "superpower props". The temptation of superpower props was much more attractive than energy stones.
"I'll give you the ruler... and you let me go." Lin Yan always felt that life was the most important thing.
"She is an F-class superpower, and she escaped from the house unscathed. She must have more than one item on her." The brocade mouse didn't care how many items the other person had on her. As long as other people believed it, this woman would not survive.
Sure enough, Lin Xi immediately felt that the psychics on the entire main street looked at her with a little more enthusiasm.
Damn, this damn rat is so vicious! What's even more infuriating is that what he said is true!
"Little girl, how many props do you have on you? How about if you give them all to me, I will protect you out?" On a rooftop, a white-haired old man asked Lin Xi with a smile.
It was over. Once everyone accepted the possibility that she had more than one prop, it would be difficult for her to escape. Because if she only had one prop, and she left it behind, everyone would naturally go to grab it and ignore her. But if everyone didn't know how many props she had, they would definitely not let her go unless they caught her and searched her thoroughly.
As for staying and letting them search? Lin Yan would not be so stupid. The people here were not police officers. Who knew if they would really let her go after the search.
I'm dying! Wu Wang, Senior Chen Chu, I've made such a big noise, why haven't you come over yet? You really didn't come in, did you
"Lin Yan!"
Lin Xi was delighted and turned around quickly, but the person she saw was neither Senior Chen Chu nor the King of Wu, but the King of Wu's younger brother, Yun Zhou. The little brat was standing at the gate of a house not far behind her, waving at her.
Little brat, why are you joining in the fun at this time!
She could scold him, but the moment the child called her, he was already tied to her. Lin Xi had no choice but to run towards the child. Lin Xi ran up the stairs in two or three steps, and the child pushed open the gate of the house the moment Lin Xi ran over.
He had quietly pulled the bolt when he called Lin Xi.
Together, they rushed into the house filled with spirits.
"Chase!"
There were more than a dozen psychics on the entire main street. Even if they were injured when they fought their way out of their birth point, at this moment, with more than a dozen people together, how could they be afraid of a mansion with B-level combat power
The supernatural props must be obtained.
After Lin Xi entered the room, she immediately activated the ruler skill. She did not control the spirit, but only activated the master's majesty, so that the spirit would not attack her.
She pulled Yun Zhou and rushed in, with spirits fighting with the superpowers behind her. Because there were too many superpowers rushing in at once, the fighting power of the entire mansion was activated in an instant, and all the spirits gathered towards the front yard, temporarily blocking the dozen superpowers.
As Lin ran, she complained to the child: "Who told you to meddle in other people's business?"
"What do you care!" The kid was also a little scared. He had no idea that this woman could cause such trouble. He thought there were only two people from Black Flame, so he thought that if they hid in the house and there were interference from spirits, the danger would not be too great. But... It looked like she was going to call all the surviving superpowers here.
"Go out the back door, and after we go out, we'll run separately." Lin Xi pulled the child towards the back door.
"Is it true what you said before that my brother is here?" the child suddenly asked.
Lin Yan wanted to complain, "Didn't you say you didn't have a brother?" But she knew that this was not the time to complain, so she just said, "I'm not sure either. I came in before him."
The child was silent for a moment, then suddenly pulled out a palm-sized pistol from his arms, raised it, and fired a shot into the sky.
With a "bang", a huge green firework unfolded in the air and grew into the shape of a sapling.
The Dirt King, who had already followed the sound to the nearby area, saw the signal blooming in the sky and his eyes suddenly turned red.
In the backyard of one of the four haunted houses in North City, Chen Chu was killing the spirit that found him while searching for Lin Yan's figure room by room. Suddenly, the sky brightened, and Chen Chu also saw the blooming sapling.
A distress signal from the Yun family? Prince Wu has already gone in that direction, and he should be able to find his brother.
With the strength of the King of Wu, Chen Chu was not worried that the King of Wu could not save his brother, so he did not care and continued to look for Lin Yan. He had cleared out two of the four haunted houses, and this was the third one. If there was still none, he would go to the fourth one.
